' SPECIEIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 288,010, dated November 6, 1883.

` Application filed March 2, 1883. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern,.- v'Be it known that IfJaMEs GARR, of Covington, in the county of Kenton and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fountain-Pens, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to'an improvement in the class of pens whose shaft or handle becomes an ink-reservoir, which communicates by its lower end with the pen proper or nib, and which retains the ink by presspppof the atmosphere at that end, thedsired flow or delivery of ink being obtained by admission ot air into the upper end`of the reservoir' outletfb, the latter being bent to one side, as

shown, so as to deliver ink againstthe concave surface of a nib, C, which is secured on said nozzle hy means of asleeve, D.

Near the upper end of the reservoir is a valve-seat', E, of the represented nipple form, seas to present around its lower side an annular channel or gutter, e, that serves to catch and detain ink which otherwise, by' sudden jar, might escape through the valve-seat into l the air-chamber F.

The valveG has a pin, g, which occupies, without'entirely lling, the valve-seat orifice,

' and a stern, H, whose screw-threaded periphery 71, occupies the correspondingly -screvl` threaded interior a of the reservoir. An ori ice, h', that traverses said stem'H, permits th entrance of air to said air-chamber throng one, two, or more branches, l

Fig. 1 shows the valve elevated and in th act of admitting air, so as to deliver ink.

Fig.4 2 shows a form of my device in whie the valve-'seat is at the extreme top of the res ervoir, and consists of a screw-cap, J, whos orificej is tightly closed by the valve whe] said cap is screwed down fast upon the valve The valve in this form has two axial pins, 5 g, that occupy loosely the orice j in the ca] J and theorice k in the septum K, respect ively, the said pins serving as guides for th valve. In this form 'the reservoir is screw threaded exteriorly, and takes the interiorly screw-threaded cap in the manner indicated Grooves k in the top of the septum K per mit descent of air whenever the cap is un screwed sufficiently to permit entrance of ai to the interior oi' the cap through the oriiicejI The pen is filled by simply pouring ink intl the open lower end of the reservoir after re moval of the nozzle B.

I claim as new and of my invention- In a fountain-pen, the combination of res ervoir-handle A, nozzle B b tl b, sleeve D guttered valve-seat E e, and valve G g, having the perforated stem H h 7a. h, substantially a; set forth.

In testimony of which invention I hereuno set my hand.
